Jameson Irish Whiskey BBQ Sauce

I’ve never been shy about the fact that I’m a huge fan of Jameson Irish Whiskey. Working in the new environment I’ve been in, it’s probably the most common thing for us to buy for each other to show camaraderie after a difficult shift. It’s also the favored drink of many of my Marine Corps friends when they come home to visit, so it’s a staple in my home. So why not cook with it too? After a few failed attempts, I finally have a smokey, honey and Jameson based BBQ sauce that we’ve been using for chicken tenders, baked chicken breast, and especially for pulled pork.

If you’re using this recipe for pulled pork, one pot will make enough for one large pork shoulder or two smaller pork loins in a crock pot.

Combine onions, garlic, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 cup of the whiskey in a pot and cook over medium heat until the onions are translucent and soft.

In a blender, pulse ingredients until the onions are smooth and combined with the rest of the sauce. Pour back into the pot and add the remaining ingredients along with the last 1/4 cup of whiskey. Cook over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.

Use the BBQ sauce as a dip or as the sauce for pulled pork sandwiches.
